At the Black Awareness rally, that was Eddie Murphy playing Randy Watson, and Arsenio Hall playing Reverend Brown. Eddie and Arsenio were also in the audience playing their barber characters Clarence and Morris, and also Akeem and Semmi.
The sequel COMING 2 AMERICA came out in 2021. This first movie is about an African Prince who travels to America in search of a bride. Both Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall each play 4 characters in this movie.
James Earl Jones, who played the King, did play the voice of Mufasa from the Lion King, and he also voiced the dark and chilling voice of Darth Vader from Star Wars.
In the barbershop scenes yes that was a then unknown CUBA GOODING JR in a curly wig getting a fake haircut. Eddie Murphy was playing the barber giving him a haircut. The elderly white Jewish man was also played by Eddie Murphy. Arsenio Hall played the other barber who was always sitting down eating.
You forgot to watch the closing credits to see who played each character.
I live in New York. Yes, rented rooms are extremely common here. Usually, it's not an "apartment" but many people rent rooms here. So a person will have their own private bedroom, but will share every other space in the dwelling.....the bathroom(s), kitchen, living room, etc.......
The actress who played Queen Aoleon, the mother of the Prince Akeem, was the late great Ms. Madge Sinclair, who was Jamaican born and raised. A great piece of trivia: Sinclair and James Earl Jones would go on to play Sarabi and Mufasa (you were right about the voice of James Earl Jones as Mufasa) in the Lion King. John Amos who played Mr. McDowell, starred as the older Kunta Kinte in Roots, where Sinclair played his wife. This was a really fun reaction! I am giving this a thumbs up!
Another great 1980s comedy that I would love to see a reaction to is “Hollywood Shuffle” starring Robert Townsend.
I love that this movie doesnt poke fun at us Africans, we are not portrayed in a demeaning way even while playing up stereotypes
Same here... it portrays us in a good light, yes they are new to New York and don't know much about the place... but that is normal whenever you go somewhere new..
They weren't shown as complete imbeciles.
The 2 poor homeless guys that Akeem gave the bag of money to were Randolph and Mortimer Duke from Eddie Murphy's 1983 movie TRADING PLACES. In that movie they were rich millionaires who end up losing their money.
In the 80’s, people used to wear Jheri Curl. Which resulted in hair like you saw on Darryl.
Michael Jackson and Ice Cube used to have the same hairstyle.
I've seen them with that hairstyle in music videos... and honesty, never liked it... it makes you look like you have permanently just come out of the shower.
But I'm guessing it was cool at the time.
Thank you for the reactions. Your comments are spot on and you seemed to enjoy the movie. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment... this was truly a comedic masterpiece...
Glad you enjoyed the reaction... Apocalypto coming out this weekend
Great movie, great reaction! 👏🏾 I am glad that actual Africans can enjoy the entertainment of the movie even though the "African accents" in the movie weren't the best, lol....I enjoyed this!
This was really funny... funnier than I had imagined it would be, and the great thing was it was not slap stick comedy...
The next comedy reaction I was thinking of "she is out of my league". Heard great reviews about that. Or American pie. But don't know whether I should actually watch that with dad
I am south African and this is my all time favourite movie😂😂
@@mbalenhlebuthelezi3198 Hello my South African sister. We are your brothers from the east. We are Kenyan.
Glad to see you here... totally loved the movie... hope you liked our reaction
@@ThirdWorldReactionsShe’s Out Of My League is a cute movie but made for young 20-something yr olds. American Pie is for 13 yr olds.
@@ThirdWorldReactionsshe's out of my league for sure
1. They killed the multiple roles.🤩🤩
2. The appearance of the Dukes is an "Easter egg" from "Trading Places".
3. "I'll just tell you one time, if you want to keep working here, you have to stay off the drugs."
4. James Earl Jones AND John Amos! GMAFB🤩🤩😁
5. "COMING TWO AMERICA" isn't as good.
Trading places by Eddie Murphy would be a great follow up to this reaction. There is actually a link between the 2 movies. I think your Dad would enjoy it too
Never watched it... Love Eddie Murphy movies, thanks for the recommendation... keep an eye out, it may be coming soon. 🤫🙂
Great reaction! You should react to Fight Club (1999) next.
That is a great movie. Will definitely put it on the list. Thank you for your suggestion. Apocalypto coming out soon.
This movie is from 1988.
I was shocked... thought it was from the 90's. Didn't know such great movies were made in the 80's.
The embarrassment when watching the sexual scenes with your father, even as an adult is very relatable 😂
Lol... that will always be the case.🤣😂🤣😂
Movie audio is too loud. You need to be slightly louder than the movie.
Nice reaction. TRADING PLACES a good one also with Eddie. Other classics. ***SHAW SHANK REDEMPTION, FOREST GUMP, IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, Persuit of Happyness, Black Panther are all Good ones
Thanks for the info. Shaw Shank is a great movie. I reacted to Forrest Gump. But I keep getting copyright strikes. I have reedited and reuploaded it around 5 times Each time it was taken down.
Will have to re-edit it again.
Great reaction guys...
Wrong order of movie though..
The two old guys whom Eddie gives money are a clever cross reference from the previous movie Trading Places 1983, where the two white guys own a trading firm and employed Eddie and lost all the money
You should have watched that movie first ...
Never heard of Trading places, thanks for the insight. Will definitely add it to the list of movies to react to
@@ThirdWorldReactions all these movies and many more are directed by John Landis
Also made the famous Michael Jackson Thriller video
